I burned some time over the weekend during our latest lockdown rebuilding my late model Heavy Duty.
I used most of the parts from my avenger with the exception of the headset and shims. The HD has a 1 1/8” fork so to use the SE fork I had to use a shim kit in the head tube and a headset with 30mm cups. I also fitted the 90’s dia-compe moto style levers i recently bought on ebay.
This is the third rebuild of this bike since i bought it 4 years ago. I pretty sure i’m done now.

First rebuild with 3 piece cranks and new rims with 7 speed nexus.
2nd rebuild with different seat, 4 speed nexus and 1 piece cranks
3rd rebuild with 7 speed nexus, thumb shifter, cromoly 3 piece cranks, bmx stem, Electra attitude bar, alloy nitto seat post, SE forks and dia-compe moto levers. I’ll be hitting the local river trail on this one as soon as we are free to move more than 5km from home.
